Maāz Meáczhar - An intimate conversation between a Father, Son & You!
Here we talk about life by deconstructing ideas which interest, bother or intrigue us! Maāz Meáczhar is a Kashmiri expression, probably untranslatable, with meanings of special affection and love among people, especially family members. It can also be rendered as sweetness of kinship!

#1 The Idea of Suffering - Its deconstruction & broader understanding
In this maiden episode we talk about the idea of suffering. We look critically at the Essay "Suffering as Surrender" by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf published in Renovatio, Journal of Zaytuna College ( Spring 2020, Vol 4, No.1 ).

Śaĥīĥ Muslim
How wonderous is the affair of the believers: verily, all of their affair is good. And that is for no one except the believers. When they are given a blessing, they are grateful, and it [the blessing] was good for them. And if they are afflicted with anything harmful [calamities, diseases, loss of wealth], they show patience. And therefore, it was better for them.
